Film preview: 'Maria by Callas'

Shining a spotlight on the late Maria Callas, the new documentary "Maria by Callas" tells the renowned opera star's story almost entirely through her own words, curating archival newsreel footage, interviews, unpublished personal letters to friends, diaries, and memoirs into an intimate account of the diva's life and career.

Film preview: 'At Eternity's Gate'

Film preview: 'Green Book'

The long road ahead
Aiming to be crowd-pleaser, the film's familiar odd-couple, “we can solve racism if we just learn to understand each other” narrative traffics in safe, comforting answers to the serious issues it seeks to tackle.

Review: 'Wildlife'

Review: 'Wildlife'

On a certain level, the story "Wildlife" tells is not an unfamiliar one, but it's a tender and quietly powerful character study filled with understated emotion and incisive empathy.

Film preview: 'Widows'

The new avengers
Tense, thrilling, and smartly directed, "Widows" is a heist movie that proves popcorn entertainment doesn't have to sacrifice a bit of intelligence or artistry.
